LONDON, March 3 "Screaming a fierce
battler cry pitched In a high soprano, the
Fifteenth Royal Mounted Yeowomanry,
led by their gallant commanding officer,
Brigadier General Diana Dobaon, V. C,
made a brilliant charge which quite demor
alized the enemy, who fled In a panic a
though the very furies themselves were at
. their heels."
Is this the sort of thing war correspon
dents will be sending to their Journals
when next Oreat Britain comes Into con
flict with a foreign foe? Such a possibil
ity will not be so very remote if a scheme
now under the serious consideration of
martlal-mlndcd English women Is taken
up as widely as they expect It to be.
Already there Is being formed In London
, a mounted corps of women nurses whose
, duty It will be to follow the army In battle
and render first aid to the wounded. The
latest feminine candidates for military
' honors, however, are not satisfied with
the scope offered them as members of a
. nursing corps.
Already Trained for War.
These women all lead an open air life
and are good horsewomen and fine game
shots, and they think these qualifications
could be put to better practical use than
'i stand shoulder to shoulder with thrir
7 brethren In the fighting line should there
ever arise an emergency desperate enough
to require their services. They propose
that the many women throughout the Brit
ish Empire who possess the same qualifi
cations as themselves shall be formed Into
a league on the lines of the British Legion
of Frontiersmen, thus becoming an Im
perial regiment of Amasons with branches
In every colony, ready to answer the call
': to arms whenever sounded.
should be In London. The regiment would
" be entirely feminine from drummer girl
to- officer. Influential and capable women
would be appointed squadron leaders and
troop officers, and the Instruction would
Include riding, scouting, driving, rifle and
revolver practice, signalling (telegraphic,
lamp, flag and heliograph), despatch car
rying and all sorts of postal ' work. Such.
In. brief. Is the scheme.
. What la the meaning of this latest phase
' of feminine activity? Is it that Engliah-
women are disgusted with the indifference
of their menfolk to the question of na
tional defense and wish to put them to
shame?
The young Englishman of today seems to
take pleasure in any form of outdoor
exercise rather than that of shouldering a
gun and fitting himself for military tasks.
, Inducements of all sorts have failed to wake
. him up to a sense of duty, and nothing
short of compulsory service seems likely
to bring the British army to Its proper
strength.
Bait for Other KnIUtmeata.
The Idea of women warriors suggests a
. way out of the difficulty. Why not have
. mixed corps? Start each corps with a
. nucleus of a few pretty maidens and there
." would be nn lank nf men nfferlnor them.
Jn speculating upon the chances of
', this projected army of Amasons coming
- Into existence the mere man at once
jumps to the conclusion that much will
depend upon the question of uniform, just
as If the feminine mind can never under
any circumstances soar above such trifles
is appearances. But la It really possible
to keen a body of women In a uniform?
Would not there be an irresistible ten
dency V put little emblelllfmments here and
there until It became no longer a uniform?
: Speaking seriously, however, the matter
of uniform Is offering no obstacle to the
rapid growth of the First Aid Nursing
Yeomani y corps, already referred to In
Bee despatches. All the members seem
perfectly content with a dress by no means
elaborate. They look very smart In short
dark blue skirts, high black boots, scarlet
tunics, white belts and peaked cloth caps,
all of which they have to provide them-
selves for the body Is purely voluntary.
Each applicant for admission to the
crps Is told, "Your work In war time will
be to follow the fighting line and catch the
' men as they drop." This, prospect does
; not discourage applicants, and a ateady
stream of smartly attired women, many of
them wives and daughters of army officers,
j pours Into the recruiting office to Inter
i flew Captain Baker, the commander of the
corps.
All members are axpected to remain In
- the corps for at leant twelve months and
to attend riding school once a week. Ap-
, rllcants must pass a corps doctor and
- must acquire a knowledge of first aid.
v
FaraUtt Their Owa Moants.
;-Many of the women who Join are suffl-
clently well to do to have horses of their
own, but for those who cannot afford the
expense Captain Baker Is recruiting a
f corps of nursing Infantry. In each case
he Is ambitious, and states that he Is alm-
Ing at a strength of 1,000 yeomanry and
I' 1.000 Infantry.
It has been stated that the women would
'' not be able to mount unaided when on
active service unless they rode astride, but
V In reply to a question on this point Cau-
tain Baker said:
j.
"There Is no need for members of. the
r corps to ride astride. They ride side sad
' die, and I undertake that they will mount
entirely unassisted as smartly as any body
t of men."
j The minimum, height for recruits In the
i yeomanry is 6 feet I inches, as a woman
r under that height has difficulty In mount-
Ing without help. There Is no Intention
that these nurses when on active service
V shall encroach upon the work of the ambu
i lance corps. They will not remove the
' wounded, but will render first aid. further
hospital work-beli jt lift to the organisa
tions within whose province it falls. In
the summer It Is proposed that the yeo
jnanry corps shall go to camp, where, they
y will attend personally to their horses and
perform many of the duties which fall
upon a cavalryman under canvas.
- The establishment of this corps of trained
t nurses should do much to prevent a re pell
tlon of what happened during the Boer
war. when a number of high-bred and ro-
mantic women, seeking notoriety more
- than anything else, went out to South
t Africa, as nurses. Totally Incompetent, not
?' even capable of nursing their own children
at home, these women were not only In the
I, way, but the causa of much unnecessary
; suffering on the part ef the unfortunate
patients who fell Into their hands,
f The flt woman officer of the First
Aid Nursing Yeomanry corps to receive
her commission Is Lieutenant Lady Ernes
. tine Hunt, eldest daughter of the marquis
of Allesbury. She will lead one of the
.' troops of which the corps will be composed.
She la well qualified tor the work she has
undertaken, having received a thorough
training as a nurse. She was a staff nurse

TWELFTH WARD.
I am asking your support at the
primaries March 30, on condition
that, if nominated and elected, I
will stand squarely for a clean,
honest business administration. .
I am firmly of the opinion that
If more good business men, and
not so many chronic politicians
were in the city council, we can
show the taxpayers of this city one
of two things, viz.: either a much
cleaner and better kept city, or a
eubstanclal reduction in taxes.

No Pasteurizing
for Dairymen
Uilkmen Show Over Four Thousand
Families Said to Be Opposed to
Effect of Ordinance.
The ordinance requiring the pasteuriza
tion of milk In Omaha was discussed at the
monthly meeting of the Omaha dairymen !
Friday night at Washington hall. The re-
porta of the dairymen were tabulated and
showed that out of 4.320 families canvassed,
who take milk from the members of the
association, 4.2K1 prefer fresh milk to pas
teurised milk. It v as pointed out to the
members of the association that the con
ditions In Omaha and In Chicago or in
the marine service were different. In Chi
cago the milk Is brought from a great dis
tance with few .dairies in the Immediate
vicinity of Chicago.' It was maintained, on
the other hand, that Omaha was sur
rounded by one of the best agricultural
countries In the world.
Political matters, the. annual picnic and
social affairs were diacuased in aocret session.

We have finally succeeded
after many months of search
and planning: In securing a
shoe built especially for the
grown-up girls, young women
going to High school a'nd col
leges. The long walks neces
' sary by these young women
require a shoe specially con
structed; this we have now
secured. The shoes are made
of the very best pumps, kid
stock, oak leather soles, that
will stand that hard usage
a girl will give shoes in the
early spring.
They are made on foot

the price.
